No , specialisation doesn’t really happen until the PL level.

In terms of cool-off, I’d leave it 6-12 months and aim to add something material to my experience / resume before reapplying. Also consider applying to a different region (BCG is more regional than other firms).

How do you get experience when no one will hire you? I wouldn’t mind hanging a shingle but I feel it’d be irresponsible to do so with no experience.

I passed the bar exam on my first try (Oct 2020) and have only had a couple interviews out of the hundreds of applications I sent out. Any suggestions?
